# Barack Obama 'comes home' to Ireland

home" after earlier visiting Moneygall where one of his distant relatives had
|
|
once lived.

**[Follow live coverage of Barack Obama's visit to Ireland and the UK][2]**
|
|
|
|
The American President jokingly told the 60,000 strong crowd outside College
|
|
Green in Dublin that he had returned to Ireland to find the missing apostrophe
|
|
from his name.
|
|
|
|
He said: "Hello Dublin. Hello Ireland. My name is Barack Obama, of the
|
|
Moneygall Obamas, and I've come home to find the apostrophe that we lost
|
|
somewhere along the way.
|
|
|
|
"Someone once said broken Irish is better than clever English. So here goes;
|
|
Ta athas orm le bheith in Éireann - I am happy to be in Ireland."
